By that point, they didn't even have an orchestra with them (granted the orchestral part was just a violin, two celli, and whatever session musicians Jeff Lynne wanted to hire, but after Discovery, they didn't even bother with that.) Okay, "Don't Bring Me Down" was a good enough song, but it was more or less all downhill for the band from there.
ELO is still around. I just saw them on Showtime.
